Difficulty getting over my ex who was my bestfriend.

He was my bestfriend for a year, then I confessed my feelings, he said he sees me as his bro, I was not hurt I was completely okay with it because I was not confessing for anything in return. We were still bestfriends but after a week he called and said he likes me too. But the thing is at that same time he said he is in need of money. I refused him for an hour for my own traumatic reasons but he kept convincing me and then I gave in. He said he would return it in 48 hours which he was not able to but it didn't bother me then. Do know he still has money to return to me from the past as well. And then we were in a long distance relationship for a week. He went home after a week after completing his internship and he naturally got busy that day and he called in the evening and said my mom wants me to marry a girl of her choice. We decided he tell his mom that he is interested in someone else and fight for me. But he did not fight with his mom because of her health. I told him to try again the next day but eventually the next day he said it will not be possible and we broke up. He texted me after two days to ask me how I was. It was a very small convo. Then he texted me after 5 days asking about me and I asked him a lot of questions for closure. I asked did you see the girl? He said I refused for marriage. I was like now your mom is ok with you unmarried? He said if they don't do what I want I won't agree with them. Then I asked if he genuinely liked me because there were zero efforts from him both in friendship and relationship. He said yes. So the next day I said if you liked me why did you not fight for me, he was like I was still figuring out my feelings. I said then you should not confess if you don't have it figured out. After me asking a series of questions he thinks maybe he does not actually likes me he just feels that way because I'm caring and supportive and the only one who he talks to the most. He said forget all the attachment with me and be friends with me the way we were before. How can I do this magically? He said I didn't know you would get frustrated because of my text, you have lot of issues so solve them first and then we will talk about my problems. This hurt a lot because he is completely not acknowledging my feelings and only thinking about himself. I told him to return all my money till 31st of December. It's been two weeks since this last conversation and he hasn't texted back. I'm the one who is genuinely hurt and feel used so why should I text first. He was greatly emphasising on being friends so he should be the one putting efforts for it. He is claiming he has not used me, the situation is making it seem like it, only he knows the reality. I was not sad when he rejected me the first time but I'm hurt now because he gave me hopes for a week and then did this.

@bestTalker9406 Hey there. It's been some time now and I just wanted to see how you were doing. <3 I am so sorry for what you have gone through. You have not only been led on and lost your partner, but you have lost your friend. That has got to be hurtful. I believe this is a situation where the two of you were better off being friends. Sometimes when we are close to someone, romantic feelings just sort of happen. It was brave of you to express your feelings to your friend, and very mature of you to take and be okay with the initial rejection. I can totally see where you would have feel used. Magically, he "likes" you too when it's convenient that he is in need of money. I have got to say you have got to be an exceptional friend and person, sweet, patient, and understanding! I applaud you and your ways. However, I really hope he did not use you and plans on paying you back accordingly. I can only imagine the hurt you feel with all that happened in a short period of time and now it is as if you are being ghosted. It's tough when you feel like you have given a part of you and opened your heart and wallet to another just for it not to be reciprocated. For you two to have been best friends for the year +, he surely must have good in him. I wish he would let those good parts resurface and just be 100% honest with you. You deserve that at least! I hope you are doing ok otherwise and hope you can find peace. Wishing you all the very best! <3 Xoxo.

Thank you so much. He returned my money two days ago. I gave him a deadline for 31st December. He returned early. I told him if he wants me in his life even as a friend, he would have to put efforts. He says he will sort all that out. I will only believe in his actions now and move on.

@bestTalker9406 I'm so glad he kept his word. Better late than never, and he complied with the deadline. I commend him for that. Actions certainly speak louder than words, that's for sure. You are special and deserve to be treated as such and with respect. I hope for the sake of the friendship that he does work through all he needs to in order to get things sorted. 😀

Yeah, I personally think he seems like a confused person as to what he wants in life. I'm giving up. He will have to win my trust again if he wants my friendship, let's see. Not waiting for him though, I'm tired of that. If he returns he returns or else no worries.
